[Spoilers] Theory: Sora's New Clothes

[Way2Dawn 80]

Hey All!

 

So I was thinking about something after I watched the secret movie in 0.2.  Now that we know where our first destination with Sora will be (Olympus), it made the inconsistencies with his clothes in the trailers make a lot of sense.  

As we all (most likely) know, in the trailers, Sora is shown in his KH2 gear whilst traversing Mt. Olympus, then in later parts he is in his new (FABULOUS!) clothes.  But when does he acquire his new duds?  I believe it happens in our first world, Mt. Olympus.

Now I know what you may be thinking, "Hey, its not Mt. Olympus, it's Olympus Coliseum!" 

To that I say "NO!".  I believe that the old world of Olympus Coliseum that we all know and love will be given a new name, "Mt. Olympus".  But I digress...  Back to my point, Sora will be given new clothes.  By who you ask?  Well lets look at what we know:

Soras first clothes were his, dull and ordinary but quite snazzy.  He grows out of these and by the magic of the Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, he gets his black and gold look that we've all grown accustomed to.  His new clothes will be acquired by similar means, but instead of using magic from fairys, he will get his clothes from a much more powerful source, one that understands the gravity of the situation and wants to help conquer Xehanort by any means necessary.  

I'm talking about the powers of the GODS!

It is my thought that Sora will get new clothes that will aid him in unlocking his new special abilities, much like in KH2, but it will be granted to him by Zeus himself.  Which I think would be pretty awesome.  

Another reason I see this being so is what we have seen from our new forms.  Everything we have seen so far looks like weapons that would fit in well in Mt. Olympus (Guard, Chariot, even the guns!)

So what do you guys think?

 

EDIT: I watched an early trailer that showed Sora in his old clothes in Twilight Town.  I guess a way to still make my theory work is maybe Sora is summoned to Twilight Town urgently and leaves Olympus and comes back, or maybe they take a wrong turn and you start in Twilight Town?  Who knows

I saw Mt. Olympus for sure.

No, pretty sure he's getting them from Yen Sid, since that's how it's always worked (KH2, DDD). Heck, Yen Sid just gave Mickey and Riku their new clothes, it's more than likely that he's got a new look ready for Sora once he regains the power he lost. It's likely that Sora will be in his KH2 clothes for the entirety of the Mt. Olympus chapter, and once he reawakens his abilities he'll report back to Yen Sid and THEN be given new clothes to better channel those powers. Every other moment we've seen Sora with his new outfit was either in a different world or in the case of the new screenshots, later in the game when Sora has higher stats and returns to the world.

Sticking to the coming leaving coming back theory, and if the world has more than one story part, Sora may get his new clothes about halfway through part 1 by summons of Yen Sid.

I don't know...it's possible that the stats Sora has might not be reflective of how it actually plays - perhaps they just adjusted them so that they could show the game off better?

your theory sounds legit and to even prove it more: sora is wearing his new duds in the newly added screen shot. Maybe he gets his new outfit in the middle of his visit to Mt.Olympus?

This is a very sound theory, and it would explain the how and why of his KHII clothes being present in Mt. Olympus! I guess that after he obtains the Mark Of Mastery, Zeus ends up bestowing upon Sora his new duds, along with the powers it comes with!
